Whitney Wolfe’s New App To Help Find Your New BFF

Whitney Wolfe, the founder of Bumble, has created a new app that is different from the original app, but works in tandem on the same application if individuals already have the Bumble app. The app named “BumbleBFF” works in much the same way as the existing Bumble app. In order to use BumbleBFF users must download the Bumble app which will ask the user to sign into Facebook. BumbleBFF uses the Facebook algorithms to link people to potential friends with the same interests and tastes. Once the system finds potential friends with the same interests, users can view each person and swipe left if the user is not interested. Potential matches will sit in the app for review for 24 hours before being removed as inactive.

There are numerous security features with this app also such as face recognition where app users need to take a picture so that it can be matched to their profile picture. This feature cuts down any app hacking that could happen. Whitney Wolfe explained what she felt was the need for this dating app. Whitney stated that with people, especially woman who are waiting longer to find committed relationships, building lasting friendships is becoming more important than ever. The first week statistics seem to back this reasoning as Bumble BFF received more than one million swipes by users.

Twenty-Six year old Whitney Wolfe is the CEO and creator of Bumble. This app is designed to be used as a relationship app where users can view potential matches online. Whitney Wolfe has a vision of creating a business app of Bumble for networking, linking companies and employees together for a seamless integration of business, personal, and romantic contacts.
